Haglöfs to use PrimaLoft insulation with recycled content

05/01/2017
Swedish outdoor brand Haglöfs has announced that it will use Gold Insulation Active material from PrimaLoft in a new version of its Barrier Rescue jacket from autumn-winter 2017-2018. The insulation material uses 45% post-consumer recycled polyester.

PrimaLoft has also developed a version called Gold Insulation Eco that has 55% post-consumer recycled content, which will also be available for brands to use from autumn-winter 2017-2018, but which is being used exclusively by Patagonia until then.

At the time of the Haglöfs announcement, the Swedish company’s clothing design manager, Jacopo Bufacci, said: “Our Barrier Rescue Jacket is a proven style in our collection and specifically created for mountain rescue people. We updated features and changed to PrimaLoft Gold Insulation Active to increase the breathability and performance, but also to reinforce our commitment to produce premium-quality, environmentally friendly products. We’re really satisfied with the result, and so are the rescue guys.”
